1. Chapter 001 Mud Doll

Next Chapter

"Dead girl, don't run if you have the ability!"

In the backyard of Xie Mansion, the angry eldest lady Xie Rong threw away the rouge box in her hand, and rushed out with a big flower face, lifting the corner of her skirt.

Xie Fu, who was hiding under the windowsill, saw that the situation was not good, spread his feet, pulled his legs and ran, and ran up to the corridor as soon as he slipped through the smoke.

It's a fool not to run!

At this time, it was still in the winter moon, close to the end of the year, Xie Fu was wearing a silver and red flowering jacket and a pair of sheepskin boots, with a bit of joy.

She ran like a gust of wind, and Xie Rong, who was wearing embroidered shoes behind her, couldn't catch up, so she jumped to her feet in anger.

"Dead girl, stop!"

Xie Fu just ran towards the other courtyard, too lazy to turn around and take care of her.

Today, she was a guest at the house of the national abbot Gu Anbo, and she was not in the house.

Xie Fu then slipped out of the house and bought a clay doll. When I came back, I happened to bump into my eldest sister dressing up in the mirror, applying rouge, and a large patch of scarlet on her white face, which looked miserable.

Xie Fu couldn't hold back for a while, jumped out with a grimace, and shouted-

"The eldest sister and aunt painted her face, ashamed!"

Xie Rong trembled in fright, and the rouge in her hand was pulled out diagonally for half a part, and a red mark was drawn on her face, as if someone had whipped her on the face, and she suddenly "broke the phase".

The two sisters were already at odds, and Xie Rong shouted and chased them out, wanting to settle accounts with Xie Fu.

But where did Xie Fu put her in his eyes?

Her status at home is not embarrassing or embarrassing, but at least she knows that her mother, the Gao family, has absolute authority. Without fear, she just ran towards her mother's courtyard.

Seeing that the courtyard was getting closer and closer, the simple plaque of the "Pinghu Courtyard" was hung on it, and Xie Fu drilled into the door of the moon cave, and the shadow disappeared.

Xie Rong, who was chasing after her, arrived in front of the Moon Cave Gate and was so angry that she fell to her feet.

"Dead girl, too cunning! Don't hide if you have the ability! ”

Xie Rong stared at the plaque hanging on the door of the Moon Cave, gritting her teeth and scolding.

Qiu Yue, the eldest girl who was also chasing and panting, couldn't help but persuade her: "Miss, this is my wife's other courtyard, don't dare to chase it anymore." ”

Where didn't Xie Rong know this truth?

It's just that this little girl is too angry.

Sister Rong, the eldest lady of the Xie family, is a concubine, cardamom in her prime, big eyes and a small nose, and a small cherry mouth.

Unexpectedly, after smearing it on her face a few times, Xie Fu's yellow-haired girl's head popped up, and she came out from under the window, pointing at her face and sneering.

It's just a nine-year-old hairy girl who doesn't understand anything, and dares to laugh at her?

Xie Rong was dizzy, and chased after her without caring about the difference between her concubines.

But now, Xie Rong's mind has cleared up.

Looking at the door of the Moon Cave in the other courtyard, Mrs. Gao's calm face appeared in front of her, extinguishing all the anger that had just emerged from her without a trace.

Xie Zongming, the master of Xie Mansion, ranked fifteenth in the second class of the 35th year of Jiajing's palace examination, and married Gao as the wife of the main room.

Gao was born in a famous family, and was the pearl of Gao Gong, a scholar of the current dynasty, and the only daughter of Gaofu.

Gao Gong Huan Hai has been up and down for decades, he is a very popular minister, and his heirs are thin, so he loves Gao very much.

It is conceivable what kind of authority the Gao family has at home after marrying Xie Zongming.

She got pregnant the same month she got married, and she was born prematurely in February of the following year, and she was born with a daughter, named "Fu", and the small word "Wuxiang", which is now Xie Er's Miss Xie Fu.

Xie Fusheng's life was not bad, but her grandfather Gao Gong treated her as a pain in the eyeballs. Although the person was born prematurely unexpectedly, his body was still relatively strong, and he was not sick or sick.

It's just that Gao's body was injured, and he has never been pregnant since then, and Xie Fu is the only one in Xie Fu's house.

Xie Rong's mother was the concubine of the lord in his early years, and she was pregnant with Xie Rong before the Gao family entered the door, occupying the name of the eldest daughter of the Xie Mansion, and slapped the Gao family in the face.

Therefore, Xie Fu has to tease her from time to time.

Xie Rong was often so angry with Xie Fu that she jumped to her feet, but she was helpless.

The Gao family, who was born in the Gaomen Mansion, everyone in the mansion couldn't afford to cling to it, even the old man Xie Zongming didn't dare to speak loudly when he saw the Gao family, for fear of annoying her.

Right now, Xie Rong had a big flower face, looking at the deep grass and trees in the courtyard, and could only grit her teeth and swallow all her dissatisfaction into her stomach.

Sooner or later, she will let Xie Fu know that it is nothing!

"Qiuyue, let's go back."

Xie Rong turned around and left, the autumn-colored narrow-sleeved gown was worn on her, and it already had a bit of a nasty taste.

Xie Fu in the door of the Moon Cave didn't go far, he stood under the porch, and when he saw Xie Rong leave with a gloomy face, he couldn't help but throw the fat clay doll in his hand and grin.

Although she is young, she has learned ten out of ten in her ability to bully others.

Who calls themselves a great mother?

Hmph, you, Xie Rong, are you unhappy?

If you're not happy, ask your aunt to have a good baby.

Xie Fu stuck out his little tongue towards the door of the Moon Cave, becoming more and more fearless.

"The second girl is good, the second girl is good!"

There was a mocking parrot sound from behind.

Xie Fu turned his head, and a simple budgie stood on the brass parrot stand under the porch, holding its head high, quite a bit of contempt.

"The second girl is good, the second girl is good!"

As soon as the beak shell flipped over, the budgie croaked twice more and moved its paws on the shelf.

Xie Fu listened and laughed.

She stretched out her little hand and gently touched a piece of emerald feathers on the parrot's head: "Handsome and good, watch it here, I'll give you fragrant food and spicy food in a while!" ”

"The second girl is good, the second girl is good!"

The parrot handsome seemed to be happy and fluttered its wings.

The "second girl is good" in front is to say hello, and now it seems that Xie Fu is a good person.

Xie Fu looked at this little thing and was immediately happy.

This budgie was given to her by her mother, Gao, on her eighth birthday last year, and she named it "Handsome". Seeing that a year has passed, this little thing has not learned the second good lip color, it is a stupid parrot.

Xie Fu teased it three or two times, remembering Xie Rong's rouge.

"Everyone has rouge, why doesn't my mother have it?"

Xie Fu thought about it, suddenly withdrew his hand, turned around the corridor, and came to the front of Linquan Zhai.

Two carved doors are hidden, and the surroundings are quiet.

Shaoxing Mansion has just had a rare snowfall, and the sky is not long clear, and it is as green as an inverted jade bowl.

Xie Fu's small shadow fell on the front of the steps, and it was stacked three times, becoming shorter and shorter.

She stomped her foot, stomping off all the mud and snow standing under her boots, before jumping up the steps and pushing the door open.

Mrs. Xie Gao is happy to be quiet, she has not lived in the main house, and she has not forgotten the affairs of the house, and she lives in this Pinghu Courtyard, and Linquanzhai is her living place.

There was no one in the house.

Facing a picture of a cloud crane singing spring, there is a carved lacquer cloud dragon pattern warped head case, two yellow rosewood rose chairs, a pearl curtain hanging on the left side, hanging on both sides, revealing the catalpa wood stone crescent moon table furnished inside, and a hundred treasure inlaid flowers and birds pattern curved screen.

All the decorations are all the style and wealth that Jiangnan Xie Mansion does not have, and they are all dowries brought by her mother.

Bypassing the four curved screens, she saw the mirror platform near the window.

The eight-treasure diamond mirror is placed on the table, and a delicately polished ivory comb is placed in front of the makeup.

It seems that she has never seen her mother put on makeup in front of the mirror, and every morning she just cleans her face and combs her hair.

Xie Fu was suddenly surprised, walked over, and saw a treasure inlaid baby play pattern dressing box on the mirror platform.

With a roll of her eyes, she put down the chubby chubby clay doll in her hand and went up to open the box.

"A lot of ......"

Xie Fu's eyes widened and his mouth widened.

There is a silk puff next to the new hairpin silver powder box, a glass bottle containing rose dew, a lacquer box containing fragrant lipstick, and a musk dragon group of thrushes, together with other willow leaf-shaped thrush ink, are placed in a red sandalwood box......

The innermost is a gold heart box with flower arabesques, which is heavy to pick up, and I don't know if it is fragrant tea or other things?

Raising her head, she looked at her white and red cheeks with baby fat in the mirror, and her mind echoed what Qiu Yue said to Xie Rong just now.

"The beauty of my daughter's family is determined by three points and seven points by makeup. The big girl looks good in this color. ”

Is Xie Rong good-looking?

Xie Fu in the mirror is a little yellow-haired girl, she has to admit that compared to Xie Rong, who is already thirteen, she is indeed a little worse.

"Ignore the sheng spring and put on a light makeup on the rhombus...... Seven-point makeup? ”

Stretching out his hand, Xie Fu picked up the round box, unscrewed it to see, there was a layer of greasy red grease inside, and the surface was smooth and oily, and no one thought that anyone had used it.

I saw Xie Rong wiping something on her face outside the window just now, is this thing too?

She poked a finger out, and she saw that it was about to be stained with the red paste inside.

"No, no, no, how can I be the same as my eldest sister?"

Xie Fu puffed out his cheeks and thought about it, shook his head again, retracted his hand, and put the round box down.

Besides, what should I do if my mother finds out?

But......

Xie Fu looked back and saw that his mother was not there.

The room was quiet, and she was alone.

I opened the round box just now, and there was a faint sweet fragrance floating in the air, which reminded Xie Fu of peaches, fragrant flowers blooming on the courtyard wall, and purple and red......

As if he had kicked an itch in his heart, Xie Fu touched his heart,

"Just try it, my mother never wears makeup, and she won't find out. Just once. ”

She swears to heaven that she is sincere.

The hand reached out again, and grabbed the round box in his hand.

Turn it back on.

The fragrance floating in the air suddenly became heavier and sweeter.

Xie Fu's hand also had baby fat, and his fingers poked out, and finally clicked on the lipstick, which was cool.

Raising her finger, she pressed her diamond mirror and lightly brushed it on her cheek.

The beautiful cherry color dotted on the snow-white cheeks, as if a little bit of brightness had been dyed in the snow, and a morning glow was drawn out of the open sky.

Xie Fu held the round box and stood in place, suddenly motionless.

Not because the "rouge" is good-looking, but because there is a thin and dignified shadow in the diamond glass.

At some point, Mrs. Xie Gao stood behind her.

Wearing a sable cold fur on the outside, inside is an agarwood-colored large-sleeved round-necked jacket, and ten carved silk skirts of the same color. The face is powdered, a plain and elegant, and she is a very delicate woman.

It's just that after all, she is almost thirty, and there are shallow lines at the corners of her eyes, and when she lowers her eyes slightly, it makes people suspect that her gentleness and peacefulness will turn into a puddle of water and overflow from the bottom of her eyes.

The moment Xie Fu caught a glimpse of the shadow, his hand shook.

"When."

The round box fell on the mirror stand, and the beautiful cherry red sprinkled on the surface.

She turned around suddenly, expecting Ai Ai.

"Mother, I, I......"

Gao Shi only looked at the open dresser, then at the spilled lipstick, and then at the red mark on Xie Fu's face that had not had time to be wiped off, and his face gradually sank.

She looked at the red marks left by the lipstick on Xie Fu's snow-white cheeks, her body suddenly trembled, and she didn't know what she was doing, so she dragged Xie Fu over.

"The stuff here is poisonous, you weren't allowed to touch it for a long time, what are you doing here?!"

Xie Fu was born until now, and it is rare to see Gao's words so fiercely, he was so frightened that he forgot to cry for a while, and only looked at his mother in a daze.

Maybe her eyes were too hasty, Gao also reacted immediately, and gradually let go of the hand that was tugging at her small jacket.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Gao's face was too pale, and when he came back, he wandered away in a little trance.

Xie Fu looked at her worriedly.

The tears in Gao's eyes suddenly couldn't be stopped, and they fell down.

She shook out the Jinpa, and wiped the lipstick off Xie Fu's face little by little, until Xie Fu's cheeks hurt, until there was no trace of it.

She touched Xie Fu's smooth forehead and choked.

"The man's ironclad woman's makeup can be put on, but it can't be removed. Rouge is poisonous, and pink delicacy pierces the intestines. ”

Xie Fu curled up in her arms and suddenly shivered.

Gao's tears fell on her aching cheeks, burning badly.

"Put on makeup and it will burn on your face. Fu'er, listen to your mother's words, don't touch them in this life. ”

Xie Fu was at a loss, and his voice was also crying: "Mother, don't cry, Fu'er listens to your ......"

Gao blinked, laughing with tears.

"My mother doesn't cry, my mother just left the capital for too long, and I miss your grandfather."

"Then wait for the New Year, Fu'er will accompany her mother to see her grandfather, don't cry, Fu'er will listen to your ...... everything"

Gao hugged her for a long time, as if he had dried up the tears in his eyes, before touching her head and raising a pale smile.

"Good, good husband. Let's go see your grandfather during the Chinese New Year. My mother just came back, and now I'm tired and want to sleep for a while, so Fu'er can go out by herself first, okay? ”

"Oh."

Xie Fu nodded ignorantly, looked at Gao for a while, and then turned around and went out.

When she walked to the door, she turned around, and Gao was still looking at her and smiling at her.

At this time, Gao's eyes were red, and although there were tear stains, he had already regained his former gentle appearance.

Xie Fu was a little relieved, "Mother, then you go to bed first, and I'll come back later and call you for dinner." ”

Gao nodded, standing inside Linquan Zhai, the light was dim, and the expression on his face was blurred.

Xie Fu vaguely felt that he should be laughing, right?

Her mother was always smiling.

All the way out of Linquan Zhai, Xie Fu's cheeks were still hot and painful, she stopped in front of the steps and raised her hand to touch her cheeks.

Although the gorgeous cherry red has been wiped away, there is still a faint smell, like a dark fragrance of plum blossoms on a snowy night.

Is it really toxic?

Then why haven't you been poisoned yet?

Xie Fu couldn't help but look back.

There is no Linquanzhai in the corridor, and there is a parrot stand hanging under the corridor, and the stupid handsome squatting on it.

Handsome smacked his lips and shouted stupidly twice.

"The second girl is good, the second girl is good!"

"Handsome and well-behaved...... No, my mud doll? ”

Called by the parrot, Xie Fu suddenly found that his clay doll was still on his mother's mirror and forgot to take it back.

Xie Fu turned and ran towards her mother's house.

The door that had just been hidden was closed tightly this time. Xie Fu walked to the door and pushed suspiciously.

The door was dead and didn't open.

"Mother?"

It was still open.

At that moment, a strange panic came over me.

Xie Fu called again: "Mother! ”

No one agreed.

Xie Fu opened the door, his hands and feet were cold in panic, and he only looked at a slightly wide door gap between the two doors, trying to look inside.

"Mother, why is the door locked? Mother! ”

The world in the crack of the door narrowed and quieted.

The ornaments are still those ornaments, but the difference is that Gao did not stand, but sat in front of the mirror, holding the precious musk dragon ball in his hand, little by little thrush.

The thin two bends of the distant mountain eyebrows are slowly outlined.

The blurry rhombic mirror faintly shone on Gao's face.

Xie Fu remembered that her mother had just said that rouge is poisonous, and pink delicacy pierces the intestines, why is it now......

"Mother!"

Xie Fu became more and more anxious, and banged on the door vigorously, making a "bang" sound.

Gao Shi didn't react at all, and still painted his eyebrows and put on makeup.

The pale face was dyed a little bright in a blink of an eye, and vaguely, it was the noble lady in the capital who had fallen over countless amorous nobles.

She drew her eyebrows, lit the little lipstick scattered on the mirror table, and wiped it on her lips with her fingers.

Gao slowly turned around.

That was the first time Xie Fu saw her mother wearing makeup, bright and dignified, with five points of beauty in her eyebrows and eyes, three points of enchantment, and two points of beauty.

Gao is so beautiful that he looks like a person from a painting.

"Mother, open the door! Open the door for Fu'er! ”

Xie Fu shouted hoarsely outside the door.

Gao's head didn't return, and the three-foot white silk hung on the beam, kicking over the embroidered pier on tiptoe.

There was a "bang".

Xie Fu felt that the whole world had fallen with the embroidered pier.

She stubbornly picked at the carvings on the door, and finally shouted: "Mother-"

There is still a faint fragrance on her face, and her mother's mirror table is on her newly bought white clay doll, and her round face is painted red, like rouge on a beauty's face.

……

However, her mother was hanging.

The Xie family, who finally heard the movement outside the courtyard, rushed over and dragged her away from the door, and Xie Fu couldn't see anything.

This day is the fourteenth day of the twelfth month of the forty-fifth year.

The emperor died, and King Yu ascended the throne.

Gao left her without warning.

In winter, there is no snow, but a lot of rain.

Xie Fu sat on the steps of the verandah in filial piety clothes, staring blankly at the clay doll on the ground.

A delicate satin peony embroidered shoe suddenly reached over and kicked the clay doll away.

"Bone ......"

The mud doll rolled on the ground several times before stopping, and its white body fell into the muddy water, face down, and the lump of rouge suddenly became dirty.

Xie Fu slowly raised his head.

Xie Rong was dressed in plain clothes and looked at her condescendingly, her eyes pitying and mocking.

"I'm sorry I didn't see you here. Kicked your mud doll, it doesn't matter, right? ”

Xie Fu looked at her and didn't speak.

Xie Rong snorted coldly, and didn't expect Xie Fu to speak: "Look at you, it's so pitiful, without your mother, what are you?" ”

She tilted her head and smiled at Xie Fu, as if she was very happy.

The maid Qiuyue reminded: "Big girl, it's raining and windy outside, so let's go back quickly, so as not to get cold." ”

Xie Rong glanced at Xie Fu's thin clothes, raised her eyebrows, and pulled the fox skin shoulders on her shoulders, "Let's go." ”

She gracefully walked away from Xie Fu's side.

The mud doll was still lying in the muddy water.

Xie Fu walked over and picked it up, touching the head of the mud doll with his short fingers.

The mud doll's eyes were wet with water, and ink was spreading.

Xie Fu rubbed hard, stubbornly clenching his teeth.

"Don't cry, don't cry, grandpa is coming to pick us up, don't cry......"
